Abstract:

Introduction:The targeted application of the technology for the record of the drug information may substantially assist the healthcare service providers supporting the drug-related decisions. This study intended to assess the performance of the electronic patient’s drug chart integrated in the pharmacy information system [PIS] by comparing the users’ viewpoints before and after its administration. Methods: This study was conducted using applied and descriptive-analytical research method in 2016.

Abstract:

Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) receive numerous medications from multiple providers. As a result, it is important that medication usage is properly documented in each patient's medical record. Lack of adequate documentation may confound a provider's assessment of drug efficacy, potentially leading to an increased incidence of drug interactions and adverse effects. The objective of this study was to determine if discrepancies exist between patient-reported medication usage and that documented in the medical record by healthcare providers. Data were obtained using

Abstract:

Background and aim: Medication administration errors are any deviation from the medication order specified by the prescriber on the patient's chart, specifically relating to the process of administering the medication to the patient. It is estimated that between 18.7% and 56% of all adverse events in hospitalised patients are attributable to preventable medication errors. The aim of this review was to assess the efficacy of nursing staff based ward system change interventions to reduce MAEs in in-patient settings. Methods: This review adhered to PRISMA guidelines and conducted an electronic se

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In the UK, medicines are being reclassified from prescription-only drugs to allow supply without prescription. This allows faster and easier access to medicines to treat minor ailments and allows patients to take greater responsibility for their health. However, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs may pose risks to patients; thus, it is important to understand patients' OTC medicine use. OBJECTIVE: To assess use of OTC drugs prior to and during hospital stay of inpatients of all ages and specialties. METHODS: Data were collected for 186 randomly selected patients. Patients were interviewe

Seven patients with RLS and dopaminergic drug-induced augmentation were treated with a gradual withdrawal of the offending drug and replacement with an alternative medication.
